“Definitely not Holly’s - the opposite, in fact. But, Holly is not a young woman, and she doesn’t dye her hair. She may be hypothyroid, have other health issues, like me, and can’t lose weight no matter how hard she tries.”

At the beginning of this, when I saw the first picture they put up with her in it, I reacted to her hair. I am 80, but I would never let my hair be gray. I just immediately thought her hair makes her look so old. I don't think I was trying to find fault, I just thought she looks old and doesn't have to. I use a box 10 minute color from the drug store to keep my hair blond without gray in it.

Yes, she has the spreading out in the middle that happens to some women when they get older but that was not bad and was secondary to the gray hair.

I saw a picture of her and him when he was a student at West Point and she was a beautiful young woman. She is fairly short and I've seen several today type pictures and she is wearing those cover all short jackets and that makes her look shorter. A dress of all one color without a short cut jacket would make her look leaner and taller.

In recent past years, I was traveling Texas teaching election seminars, and traveling with my lovely friend who is 5'10”. I am 5'5” and felt like a midget standing next to her. I wore solid color dresses or pants with the same color top, so I wouldn't look like a shorty cut in two.

I feel sorry for Holly having to raise the family with him gone most of the time and now having to deal with this.

I don't think he should be allowed to take time off to deal with this family problem when his vital testimony is needed. He didn't think about family when he had the affair and I think he should have to deal with that right now as it is his duty. That takes one day to testify and tell the truth and he needs to do it.

Holly is not a young woman, and she doesn’t dye her hair.

And why in hell should she?

Btw, I think older women who dye their hair only succeed in making themselves look even older. Not to mention vain.

One reason Barbara Bush was so well-liked by the public was that she accepted what age had done to her looks -- and didn't give a flying fig about it.

Guess I'm in a minority in today's popular culture ... but I think women who are old enough to be grandmas only manage to look ridiculous when they try to look "sexy."
